How do you deal with antivirus?

Bitdefender doesn't like it, and it will remove Anti-WPA without prompting on bootup.

I found this out the hard way this morning.

Rebooted the PC, Bitdefender removed Anti-WPA. Got the activation prompt, it could not find a network connection and kept logging me off. I decided to restore a backup made with Acronis True Image which was a month old. Ran it using the BartPE plugin, it hung at 36 seconds to go. I had to force a reboot, and the partition I had been restoring to was now unallocated. But instead to restoring to it, I made the rather dumb mistake of restoring to the other partition on the drive, which had data on it. I have since found backups of about 98% of what was on there.

So Avast, which was what I used before BD, is now back on the PC. It has no problem with Anti-WPA. I also have had no problems in the past with Avira Anti-Vir Free. I got rid of them because they started bundling adware.
